Bud loves museums. He couldn't even imagine a museum he wouldn't want to visit. At least, he couldn't until he toured the Museum of Foreign Debt in Buenos Aires, which explains Argentina's debts from 1810 to 2001. What's worse than a museum with exhibits on money instead of Monet? A museum with no money at all. Details: Uba.ar.

Yet it offers illegal border-crossing simulations, allowing visitors to pretend to be migrants crossing a terrain similar to the one at the border. The tour is called caminata nocturna, which might as well be Spanish for "dumb idea." (Details: Parqueecoalberto.com.mx.
